** Greg and
Claudette Currie were alerted to a bump on their patio door on Sunday, to go to
check it out to find a NORTHERN
SAW-WHET OWL [Petite nyctale] perched on the rail. The bump may have
been the owl or something it was pursuing; however it seemed none the worse for
it, staying for approximately 5 minutes and then off. Fortunately Claudette was
able to get a quick photo that beautifully shows this little 8 inch leprechaun
owl :)
** Kevin Renton leaves a very positive report from their Stilesville
location: a WHITE-THROATED
SPARROW [Bruant à gorge blanche] came by their feeder yard on Monday, and
not only fueled up but gave an excellent rendition of its so-welcomed
vocalization, with the days getting longer and the bright sun to encourage it
!
** Tonight, Tuesday night, February 21st, is Nature Moncton meeting night
at the Mapleton Rotary Lodge across from Cabela’s at 7 pm. Alain Clavette will
give a presentation on the bird life of that special place at our doorsteps:
the Bay of Fundy. Write-up is attached below.

February 21 7:00pm
The Bay of Fundy is one of the richest ecosystems in the world. But to unveil some of its treasures, the naturalist sometimes has to go far from land. In his presentation WINGS OVER FUNDY, Alain Clavette will introduce you to the world of the seldom seen pelagic birds of New Brunswick.
Who are they? Where are they coming from and why are they visiting us?
Alain Clavette is an avid birder with over 25 years of field birding experience in the province. He teaches ornithology at l’Université de Moncton. He also runs a birding column on CBC radio and has been featured in a dozen documentary and TV shows about nature and birds in our province. This fall, for the 4th year in a row, he will organize the ANNUAL GREAT PELAGIC BONANZA off Grand Manan Island.
Come share the next best option to actually heading out on the water with this presentation featuring Alain’s stunning photos, his enthusiasm and his knowledge of the very special pelagic birds of Fundy.
